Our South American tour takes you to Buenos Aires, with a fascinating historic tango show, then to Mendoza, Argentina’s largest wine region, across the border to Chile’s wine regions, and ends in Chile’s capital, Santiago.

We travel by bus over the Andes, a spectacularly beautiful journey over the world’s longest mountain range, a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Chile and Argentina have undergone significant development as wine-producing countries since they captured the export market in the 1990s. The ambition has increased significantly. Today, both countries produce outstanding wines, which we will explore in depth during all our vineyard visits.

We meet talented winegrowers, enjoy the delicious grilled meat (South American asado) and, not least, freshly made empanadas. Mendoza is a dry region with almost a desert-like character.

On the Chilean side, it is greener and more lush. Both countries are seeking cooler climates for their new vineyards. In Mendoza, they grow at increasingly higher altitudes.

In Chile, we will visit the cool Pacific coast and the two main wine regions there, Casablanca and San Antonio. And also the mythical port city of Valparaiso, and much more. We stay in charming Santa Cruz and Viña del Mar.
